Friday, January 29th begins the Winter Carnival in McCall. This wonderful winter carnival begins with a night of fireworks, boasts a mardi gras parade, a bingo night, and many other events. However, people don't go to the Winter Carnival to see a parade or watch fireworks. They go to see the dozens of amazing snow sculptures. Artists come from all over the West to participate in this time-honored competition and tradition.

The carnival runs through February 7th. Check out their websitefor more information.

If you can't make it to the Winter Carnival, but would still like to enjoy a weekend in McCall, we recommend tubing at the Activity Barn as a fun family activity. It even has a toe lift so you don't have to hike to the top.

It's really fun on days like this when the sky is blue and it's not snowing.

I have just learned that after 12 years, the paint-your-own pottery place, Artist for a Day is closing their doors on January 31st, 2010. Our family has enjoyed painting at Artist for a Day and we're sad to see them go. We will try and make it in one more time before they close, especially since everything is half off.

I received this invitation via email and wanted to pass it along. Check out their website here.

Hi All! You are invited to the Open Dress Rehearsal of "The Adventures of Sheerluck Homes!" on Thursday, January 14th at 7:15 p.m. Prairie Dog is located at 3820 Cassia, in Boise, Idaho. The House opens at 6:45. Since this is a free show, there's no need for reservations, but show up early for a good seat! Lets show the actors what they are in for, with a rowdy Prairie Dog audience! Call 336-7383 if you have any questions... See you there!

I started Don't Get Bored in Idahoas a guide to help me find new places to explore and new things to do with my kids. I needed something to help me when my kids would ask, "Mom, what are we doing today?"

Here's my solution to that question. In one place I have LINKS to different websites and local activities that help me plan out our week. You can find these in the right hand column. Besides the links to various places, I also blog about my experience in hopes that it will be useful information for you. I've placed a star * next to any places that we have been to and blogged about.

If it has a star next to it, check the LABELS in the left hand column for my blog review. If you are looking for things to do this summer check under the label of "Summer" to get some ideas. You don't want to get bored in Idaho.

Your new friend,

Amanda

P.S. I have a few talents, but photography is not one of them. Please excuse the crappy photos.
